Today, E2E coverage, regression testing, API/contract testing, and performance testing all have inconsistent or no systematic owner or methodology - engineers patch these gaps ad hoc, on top of their feature work. This role sits embedded within [Product Group], partnering directly with engineers and EMs who remain accountable for coverage, CI gates, and test strategy. You build the frameworks and AI-assisted tooling that make that accountability sustainable at scale.\nThis role is for an engineer who thinks about testing as a systems-building problem, not a checklist. You'd rather write the automation that catches a regression before a human ever sees it than manually re-verify a happy-path scenario on every release. If you want to build test infrastructure from the ground up, with real budget and executive sponsorship behind it, this role gives you the mandate to do exactly that.\nWhy This Role\nYour work directly affects release velocity and confidence for a large-scale, high-growth platform. By assisting in the development of net-new frameworks and tests, you'll directly impact the Engineering organization's long-term ability to meet high standards in customer satisfaction.\nAI-assisted test generation - turning acceptance criteria into automated scripts - is a live, unsolved problem here, not a vendor tool you're asked to babysit. You'll take a cutting edge approach to automated testing in the 21st century and be encouraged to cultivate and sharpen those skills.\nYou work alongside a SET Lead defining cross-org framework standards from day one, so you're shaping how quality standards and methodologies land in practice, not just inheriting a rulebook.\nYou're closing gaps across the entire test pyramid - E2E, regression, contract testing, performance testing - that Stord's own testing charter explicitly flags as unowned today.\nWhat You'll Build\nFull-Suite Test Automation\nBuild and maintain scripts across every layer of the test pyramid: API, integration, end-to-end and load tests.\nPartner with PMs to convert their most critical smoke suite user flows into automated coverage\nBuild Playwright-based E2E suites covering [Product Group]'s golden-path user journeys\nWire test suites into GitHub Actions CI, gating releases on passing coverage\nOwn suite health standards and outcomes - flake reduction, runtime, and reliability as coverage grows\nAI-Assisted Workflow Optimization\nBuild and refine tooling that turns acceptance criteria and user stories into test plans and automated test scripts\nEvaluate and integrate AI-assisted test generation tools into the team's day-to-day workflow\nCut the manual effort required to interpret execution results, validate outcomes, triage suites, and keep coverage current as product ships features\nRegression & Coverage Infrastructure\nBuild and maintain a regression test register mapping critical paths to automated coverage\nWire coverage reporting into a shared dashboard and keep the dashboard accurate as coverage expands\nLoad & Performance Testing\nBuild load and performance test frameworks that engineers can employ in a variety of applications\nPartner with engineers to define and validate performance thresholds before release\nEnsure critical services are load- and soak-tested ahead of peak season\nExperience We're Looking For\nRequired\nTest automation frameworks - You've built and maintained production E2E suites (Playwright or equivalent), not just written individual test cases.\nCI/CD integration - You can wire test suites into GitHub Actions (or equivalent) and configure release gates that actually block bad merges.\nProgramming proficiency - JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, or similar. You write test automation as real software: structured, reusable, maintainable.\nAPI/contract testing - Hands-on experience with contract test tooling (e.g. Pact) or API test tooling (e.g. Postman).\nLoad/performance testing - Experience with load testing tools (e.g. k6, Locust) or equivalent.\nDirected AI-assisted development - You use AI coding tools as a productivity multiplier while keeping your own technical judgment in the loop.\nCLI-native workflow - You operate primarily from the terminal and script your own tooling rather than relying on GUI test recorders.\nRequired Soft Skills\nOwnership & Accountability - You own features end-to-end and take pride in what you ship. You follow through from design to production and don't drop things.\nStrong Communication - You can explain technical decisions and trade-offs to engineers, PMs, and stakeholders. You ask good questions and listen well.\nCollaborative Approach - You work well with others, give constructive code review feedback, and actively seek input from teammates.\nProduction Mindset - You prioritize reliability and user impact. You think about failure modes, monitoring, and operational concerns as part of your design process.\nLearning Agility - You're comfortable with rapidly evolving AI/ML technologies and tools. You stay current without chasing hype.\nStrongly Preferred\nExperience building a test automation function from scratch, not just extending an existing one\nExperience partnering directly with PMs on acceptance criteria and Golden Path journey definition\nFamiliarity with coverage tooling and using coverage data to prioritize test investment\nHands-on exposure to AI-assisted test generation tooling specifically, not just general-purpose AI coding assistants\nNice to Have\nExperience in e-commerce, logistics, or supply-chain domains\nFamiliarity with [Shopify / WMS-TMS / billing systems]\nExperience with security/dependency scanning tools in CI\nWhat Success Looks Like\n30 days: Has audited existing test coverage against [Product Group]'s happy-path / sad-path scenarios, identified the top gaps, provided a test plan, and shipped at least one new automated test into CI.\n90 days: Regression test register live and passing threshold criteria is gating releases; contract/API test tooling in place for at least one major service boundary; AI-assisted test generation piloted with at least one team.\n6 months: Load/performance test framework in active use by engineers on applicable stories; [Product Group]'s release process clears Stord's Definition of Done quality gates without manual rework surfacing at UAT.","description_format":"text","description_chars":8253,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Commerce","Transportation & Logistics","Logistics","Warehousing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-07T01:18:40Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 11 · green card filings: 2","filings_12m":11,"filings_prev_12m":5,"green_card_filings_12m":2,"median_offered_wage_usd":120962,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:08:04+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":1}],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:attention"],"computed_at":"2026-10-12T06:55:09Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/stord-senior-software-development-engineer-in-test","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/stord-senior-software-development-engineer-in-test.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T22:06:54Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":36196,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":5812},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5812"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fstord-senior-software-development-engineer-in-test"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fstord-senior-software-development-engineer-in-test"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fstord-senior-software-development-engineer-in-test"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/stord-senior-software-development-engineer-in-test\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fstord-senior-software-development-engineer-in-test"}]}
